The Project X Hzrdus T800 55 is a popular golf shaft. It comes in multiple stiffness ratings, all of which change the weight within a couple of grams of the standard shaft weighing 55 grams (1.94 oz). The vast majority of Project X Hzrdus T800 55s have a 6.0 shaft stiffness rating, which provides an excellent swing speed.
The Project X Hzrdus T800 55 swing speed is between 80 to 106+ mph(129-170+ kph). Lighter shafts are generally better for people who need speed assistance. These Project X clubs weigh 57.5 grams (2.03 oz), allowing for a mid-to-high torque for plenty of power on a high-speed swing.
In this post, I’ll explain how fast you can swing a Project X Hzrdus T800 55, what changes its speed potential, and which weight and stiffness you should consider.
How Fast Can You Swing a Project X Hzrdus T800 55?
You can swing a Project X Hzrdus T800 55 up to 105 miles per hour (169 kph), though it requires plenty of power, precision, and practice. Shaft Shack explains the average Project X Hzrdus T800 55 swings between 81 to 106 miles per hour (130-171 kph) when including the 5.5 to 6.5 stiff shafts.
If you’re near the lower end of the speed range with this golf shaft, it’s better to focus on changing your shaft stiffness rather than swapping for a heavier shaft. Flexible shafts are better for people with slower swings because they provide excellent precision and hangtime.
How Does the Hzrdus T800 55’s Weight Affect Its Swing?
The Hzrdus T800 55 comes in three weight classes based on the stiffness rating. The 5.0 is 56.5 grams (1.99 oz), the 5.5 is 57 grams (2.01 oz), and the 6.0 is 57.5 grams (2.03 oz). Since the weight difference is negligible for most golfers, it’s better to focus on this shaft’s stiffness. A stiff shaft is great for people with a fast swing.
According to Rock Bottom Golf, the 5.5 and 6.0 Project X Hzrdus T500 55 Shaft have mid-high torque ratings, whereas the 5.0 has a higher torque rating.
What Affects a Hzrdus T800 55’s Speed?
There are many factors that affect the Project X Hzrdus T800 55’s speed, including the aforementioned stiffness rating, adapters you use (they can add several grams), and the club head you use (it can also add several grams.
Additionally, using standard grips will provide lighter weight, improving the shaft’s speed. Midsize golf grips will slightly increase the weight, but it’s better for those who have big hands or long fingers. Check each of these parts before recording your golf shaft’s average speed per swing.
Final Thoughts
The Project X Hzrdus T800 55 is very light compared to most shafts, but it provides plenty of speed for the average golfer. It comes in multiple colors and a few shaft stiffness variations, though the 6.0 57.5-gram (2.03 oz) shaft is the most common one. Remember, your club head, adapter, and grip will affect the swing speed.
